Na próxima rodada, o Imperatriz-MA visita o Bahia, em Salvador. O CRB recebe o Santa Cruz, no Rei Pelé.

O confronto

O jogo nem tinha começado direito quando Rafael Longuine aproveitou o erro da zaga do Imperatriz e bateu firme para abrir o placar aos 30 segundos, 1 a 0 CRB.

Com o placar a seu favor, o Galo conseguiu dosar o ritmo do jogo e controlava o ímpeto do rival, que buscava o empate.

Na casa dos 29 minutos o Imperatriz deixou tudo igual. No cruzamento da direita, a bola passou por todo mundo. Menos Joelson, que se esticou todo e balançou a rede, 1 a 1.

Como era esperado, as duas equipes voltaram em ritmo lento para a etapa final e quase nada era criado. Aos 28 minutos, Joelson fez jogada individual e cruzou na medida para Alyson testar firme e virar a favor do Cavalo de Aço.

No prejuízo, o CRB tentou a reação e apostou em Erik. O veloz atacante deu trabalho para o Imperatriz e quase empatou após belo chute da entrada da área que parou no goleiro.

If there is one venue in the world that could be home from home for Bangladesh, it is the ground they will begin their Super 10s on Wednesday

Agarkar: Bangladesh will want a bit more from Shakib

If there is one venue in the world that could be home from home for Bangladesh, it is the ground they will begin their Super 10s on Wednesday. Kolkatans speak with a different inflection, and a recent trade embargo means Bangladeshi no longer makes it into this city’s eateries, but still, Bangladesh is elementally tied with Bengal; through shared history, struggle and language.It is on this common soil that Mashrafe Mortaza hopes to break ground on the next phase of their World T20 campaign. Dharamsala, where Bangladesh played their group stage, was so cold and wet, he said, it almost felt like Irish conditions. Bangladesh haven’t played in Kolkata for 25 years, but if Mashrafe gets his wish, this game will feel a little like coming home.”I think this is a good opportunity to play in this ground,” he said. “I don’t know if 90,000 people will turn up for tomorrow’s game, but we are excited to be playing here and we want to make it memorable. As a Bengali, I can hope that Kolkata will be behind us.”Even for non-Bengalis, Bangladesh have become an easy team to get behind. Over the past 14 months, a distinct brand of cricket has developed around a battery of canny seam bowlers, of whom Mashrafe himself is Exhibit A. Their rise began in ODIs, but has now spread to their T20 game. Having been Asia Cup finalists in the past fortnight, they go into the tournament as dark horses of sorts.”We were not really good in T20s but now we are playing fearless cricket,” Mashrafe said. “We are giving it our best, and all our players have their role. When we do all this together, we know we can win. Our coaches have really helped us.”In a 12-month period populated with happy firsts, Bangladesh got their first T20 century-maker on Sunday, when Tamim Iqbal struck 103 not out against Oman. Mashrafe said his whole top order was poised to deliver in the Super 10s.”Tamim is in good touch since the last World Cup. Not only Tamim, actually, but all the batsmen are fired up, especially in T20 cricket. In India they can do much better than at home, because the Asia Cup was played on seaming wickets. Tamim and Sabbir are scoring regularly and Soumya is doing it in patches too. I think when the top order does well, the pressure is off the middle order.”If there is a concern in that middle order, it is the relative lack of runs from Mushfiqur Rahim. He has been out in single figures in four of his five most recent outings. Shakib Al Hasan has also been a little quieter than usual with the bat, though he does have a much better string of scores behind him.”I want everyone to perform but in this format, you don’t always get time,” Mashrafe said. “Especially for those batting in the middle order who don’t get time to get settled in the crease. I think Shakib and Mushfiqur are trying their hardest and they have performed regularly in the recent past.”Shakib is an important player for us. He has performed under pressure for the last seven to eight years. We can always bounce off ideas from him about this ground as this is where his IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders is based.”

Amid the many innovations seeping into a batsman’s game, former India captain Ajit Wadekar has praised India and Rajasthan Royals batsman Ajinkya Rahane for sticking to the coaching manual.”In IPL, it is very difficult to see a technically correct batsman,” Wadekar told . “But, the only person who comes to mind is Ajinkya Rahane. He knows how to play T20 cricket. He has a good defence and also the temperament to go with his talent. He has many years to go in international cricket”But cricket is calling for increased skill and even that coaching manual might require updating feels fellow former India Test player Madhav Apte. “Technique in the present day has to be re-defined. A lot of it is improvisation. Whether the bat is coming from behind or straight is not relevant,” he said. “Obviously, technique is important but it is like a clown in a circus. He may do all the foolish acts but he still gives a sound performance.”Narine backed to beat scrutiny on action
Kolkata Knight Riders back Sunil Narine to pass a second bowling action retest in three weeks. He was reported during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 22 and was rushed to Sri Ramachandra Arthroscopy and Sports Science Centre in Chennai for another assessment.Wasim Akram, the team’s bowling mentor, who had accompanied him to Chennai, called Narine “a unique talent” and was hopeful of a positive result.”Sunil went for his test on Saturday and the deliveries that the umpires were worried about were looked at,” Akram wrote in his column for . According to the officials some of Sunil’s deliveries to the left-handers are slightly suspect, like the offbreak, the carrom ball and the quicker one. All of his deliveries have been checked again and a report will be sent to the [BCCI suspect actions] committee which will decide his fate.”Gautam Gambhir, the Knight Riders captain, said “Most of us knew even after he was cleared in Chennai that he can again be reported again. All this can be very disturbing and unsettling for a player.”

Big Picture

The locals in Sri Lanka’s southeast had been hoping for heavy rains to rejuvenate their crops and refill their wells. The rain though, has been in Colombo. Hambantota gets extra cricket instead. Given Sri Lanka have now lost three on the trot at the venue, that may not be much of a condolence prize.Sri Lanka is often thought of as a tough team to beat at home, particularly in limited-overs cricket. But since 2006, they have lost seven bilateral ODI series at home to the six they have won. In the last two years, they have also drawn against New Zealand and Bangladesh.Pakistan now have the chance to inflict a successive ODI series loss on the hosts, after South Africa beat them 2-1 last month. Angelo Mathews already has one eye trained on the World Cup, and had said he would experiment with Sri Lanka’s combination in this series. But he will be tempted to shelve those ambitions for now, and pick his strongest team.Pakistan, meanwhile, are out to get silverware out of this tour. They had seemed sunk on Saturday until two batsmen with fewer than 50 ODIs between them put on a partnership worthy of seasoned one-day cricketers. Perhaps the wisest thing about their 147-run stand was that neither batsman seemed keen to rely on Shahid Afridi.Saturday’s was the kind of win that fills a batting unit with confidence. If they can win a chase from five down, 160 adrift and the required rate touching seven an over, they might feel anything is possible. Moreover, Misbah-ul-Haq now seems to have some level-headed company in the middle order. They will be without their other middle-order anchor though, with Younis Khan returning home due to personal reasons. They will also need to make do without ace spinner Saeed Ajmal for one more match, but even without him, the bowling and batting appears to have the depth and variety to deal with whatever the temperamental Hambantota venue serves up on Tuesday.

In the spotlight

Upul Tharanga‘s reintroduction to the top teams has been well-earned, but he is still working on locking down a place in both the ODI and Test teams. He top scored in the Test victory at SSC, but the edginess outside off stump that has always been his bane has not yet been fully dealt with. There is now competition for opening spots, across all formats. If Tharanga wants a place in Sri Lanka’s World Cup side, he will need consistent scores.Sohaib Maqsood was the star of Saturday’s chase, but alongside him for much of his innings was Fawad Alam who has begun to carve a niche for himself as the busy engine-room batsman in Pakistan’s middle order. There is nothing eye-catching about Alam’s batting, except an ability to find gaps, and an opportunistic streak that sees him squeeze out runs when most would see none there. He has a bandit’s beard and hairstyle, to match his style of play. Alam has crossed 50 in all his three ODIs this year, and an average of 47.38 after 28 innings suggests Pakistan unearthed something valuable.

Teams news

The only place in Sri Lanka’s top order that does not seem settled is the Dinesh Chandimal-Lahiru Thirimanne spot. Elsewhere, Sri Lanka may be tempted to bring in offspinner Suraj Randiv, if only to prevent Rangana Herath from disintegrating into the molecules that comprise him, given his workload this year.Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Upul Tharanga, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Lahiru Thirimanne/Dinesh Chandimal, 6 Angelo Mathews (capt), 7 Ashan Priyanjan, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Rangana Herath, 10 Nuwan Kulasekara 11 Lasith MalingaIn Younis Khan’s absence, Sharjeel Khan and Ahmed Shehzad will open, while Mohammad Hafeez will be pushed down to No.3.Pakistan (probable): 1 Sharjeel Khan, 2 Ahmed Shehzad, 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Umar Akmal (wk), 5 Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), 6 Fawad Alam, 7 Sohaib Maqsood, 8 Shahid Afridi, 9 Wahab Riaz, 10 Junaid Khan, 11 Mohammad Irfan

Pitch and conditions

Strong winds are almost always a factor at Hambantota, but the seamers may find something in the pitch under lights as well. Good weather is forecast for the duration of the match.

“If one gets going he needs to play well and post a good total for the bowlers to bowl at. We can’t expect all seven to perform well everyday.”
